RU Wrestling : Next up NorthEast Duels

[josh1728]

157: Lewis vs Wingbermuehle (r-Fr) 3x Missouri high school champion. Wing gets takedown, 4 point backs and huge riding advantage. Up 6-0...Richie turns him and Wing screams so they stop it!!!!!! WTF...But this clearly angers lewis who goes on a crazy run with takedown and 8 backs...up 15-6 to start 3rd...wow what heart to win by major!!
RU 12 - OK 9

 

[belushijo]

Richie really flipped a swit.

 

[Abro1975]

Wow, Lewis turned from Clark Kent into Superman !

 

[ljones55]

Wow, now that's a sense of urgency. Lewis is a ball of fire!!

 

[ljones55]

I can't wait to see Lewis wrestle again. That was exciting!

165: Perrotti vs r-jr Glass - Glass has lifetime 39-27 record. 19-12 and 20-15, so Perrotti needs to win this personally and for the team. Glass up 2-1 at end of first. i dont love this. AP continues to lok for the big move instead of getting his one points. giving up riding in mean time.
2-2 at end of 2nd with riding in Glass favor. Perrotti not getting good shots.
AP taken down...so now only a huge move can save him. gets reversal but no backs. time runs out and he loses 6-4.
RU 12 - OK 12

 

[belushijo]

Glass is ranked. Record is deceiving.

 

[Leonard23]

Giraldo will learn from that. He was dominating on his feet & just got caught. Hope he uses this learning experience to his advantage as he could AA this year if he does.

 

[belushijo]

Thought that should have been a standing reversal for Perrotti.

 

[ljones55]

Perrotti needs to wake up!

 

[belushijo]

Perrotti.....so frustrating sometimes.

 

[belushijo]

Looks like being able to eat those extra meatballs didn't work for APin that match.

 

[PhilaPhans]

Although I expected a bit more from Perrotti, this is where the team has to really step up (post-165) if it wants to be good this year.

 

[ljones55]

Perrotti needs to do a better job of not giving up his legs in neutral. He was terrible on his feet. Hard to believe he's an All American!

 

[PhilaPhans]

Can somebody remind me of tiebreakers again?

 

[Abro1975]

screwy louie is great doing comentary lol

 

[josh1728]

177: Bakuckas v Reed - both redshirt juniors. this should be close and tough. They trade takedown by Reed and quick reversal by Phil..holds on for 2 minutes of riding at end of first.
Phil gets out, but then Reed gets takedown and silly quick ref count for 2 tilt. Phil gets out, so now 6-4, but Phil has riding time.
Reed gets out, so 7-4, but like 7-5.
time runs out and Reed wins 7-6. arrgh.
RU 12- OK 15

 

[belushijo]

Every time Louie complains about the clock......take a shot. Be drunk in no time.

 

[13duke st.]

Did perotti win?

 

[belushijo]

Did perotti win?

Nope.

 

[josh1728]

184: Gravina v Joel Dixon (r-Fr)...Dixon was 2x 6A champion in Oklahoma. No Score at end of first. Gravina out, acts aggressive and eventually gets a stalling, but taken down then another escape. 2-2 at end of first. GRavina rides him out the wholle period! 3-2 win.
RU 15 - OK 15

 

[belushijo]

Hell of a ride out by Gravina.

 

[RUFogey]

Huge ride out from Gravina.

 

[belushijo]

We've given up entirely too many back points in this dual.

 

[josh1728]

197: Hrymack vs Johnson (r-Jr) - Hayden lets up takedown and 2 back, so down 4-0 quickly. come on back hayden. Johnson is a .500 record wrestler, so he has to win to make a statement that he is getting better. down 6-1 after another takedown. another escape and another takedown. rides him out to be up 8-2 plus riding at end of 1st. not good. Hayden tries for cradle, gets out of position and gives up reversal so now he gives up major. Hrymack gets out, so including riding it is a 7 point match with one minute to go.
Hrymack gave up 6 points off of his own shots. Just cant roll and Johnson kills him on Hrymack shots. ugh. so he gives up a major

 

[josh1728]

Perrotti, Bakuckas and Hrymack cant go 0-3 and give us any hopes against top 20

 

[PhilaPhans]

Just think ... Dippery, Perrotti, Bakuckas, Hrymack all lose ... Giraldo gets pinned up 6-2 or so ... and with a huge match by Smith (definitely possible), we can still win.

 

[belushijo]

Gotta get points if you lock up the cradle.

 

[ljones55]

Damn. Hrymack is so damn sloppy. He's also very dangerous. very exciting match!

 

[belushijo]

Just hope he can keep it to a regular decision.

 

[belushijo]

Not a very good strategy by Hayden in that situation.

 

[josh1728]

285: Smith #8 versus Mike Brown...Where is OK's Ross Larson (r-Jr) #9?...Smith with two takedowns! he gets two points on tilt. ends period up 6-1. gets escape in second. so 7-1
Billy rides him, but not turning. needs tech fall or pin for RU to win. i dont understand the strategy. he wins but RU loses. Even if Hayden kept it to normal loss, we lose due to Brewer pin.
RU 18 - OK 19

 

[PhilaPhans]

I assume we lose unless Billy tech falls Ross?

 

[Abro1975]

Pretty sure you are right, not looking good as Smith up only 7-1 in 3rd period now.

I assume we lose unless Billy tech falls Ross?

 

[belushijo]

Odd final match. Don't really understand why he didn't let him up and try to score more points in the 3rd.

 

[Abro1975]

HWT: No. 8 Billy Smith (#RUWR) wins by an 8-1 decision, but No. 17 RU falls in the dual, 19-18, to No. 22 Oklahoma.

LIfe as a Rutgers fan.

PS- Flo's rankings are better than whatever rankings RU Wrestling twitter uses. IMO

 

[PhilaPhans]

I think criteria is:
1.) Matches won.
2.) Pins?

 

[RU Husky]

RU- A tad over rated

 

[PhilaPhans]

Yeah, not quite sure what happened in the 2nd and 3rd with Billy.

Lots of good stuff today, but lots of matches I'd like to have back.

 

[PhilaPhans]

RU- A tad over rated

I disagree. We're anywhere in that 10-25 range. There are a few holes in the lineup and we only have a few AA-level wrestlers right now, but we can compete with most teams outside the top 10.
